《有孩子看祂》(Some Children See Him)这首颂歌发表后两年阿尔弗雷德就诊断出有肺癌, 一年之后去逝。在他短暂的一生中为我们留下了许多圣诞颂歌,其中三首至今仍在流传: 《有孩子看祂》,《唱颂歌,唱颂歌》(Caroling, Caroling) 和《圣诞星的颂歌》(The Star Carol)。
1. Some children see Him lily white, 有孩子看祂百合白, The baby Jesus born this night. 新生儿耶稣今夜来。 Some children see Him lily white, 有孩子看祂百合白, With tresses soft and fair. 浅淡发卷松又软。
2. Some children see Him bronzed and brown, 有孩子看祂棕褐脸, The Lord of heav'n to earth come down. 天上主宰下地来。 Some children see Him bronzed and brown, 有孩子看祂棕褐脸, With dark and heavy hair. 深浓头发厚又密。
3. Some children see Him almond-eyed, 有孩子看祂杏仁眼, This Savior whom we kneel beside. 救主身旁来跪拜。 Some children see Him almond-eyed, 有孩子看祂杏仁眼, With skin of yellow hue. 带黄的肤色清秀脸
4. Some children see Him dark as they, 有孩子看祂黑黝黝, Sweet Mary's Son to whom we pray. 马利亚的儿子听祈祷。 Some children see him dark as they, 有孩子看祂黑黝黝, And, ah! they love Him, too! 热情爱祂唱又跳!
5. The children in each different place 各方的孩子要看见, Will see the baby Jesus' face 耶稣救主婴儿面。 Like theirs, but bright with heavenly grace, 像自己模样,但充满, And filled with holy light. 恩典圣洁的荣光。
